I found a pretty dumb solution for matching from IK to FK. I created some dummy controls that track the correct position for FK controls by getting the transform of the deformed skeleton. Then when I need to transition from IK to FK in Apex scene animate, I copy the transform of the dummy controls back to the corresponding actual FK controls. Then I change the mode from IK to FK and I can keep animating in FK.

The same should work for matching from FK to IK.

Is there a way to automate this process?

the custom code is loaded by the APEX Scene Animate node to act as a sort of sub-tool.

May I ask how you load the custom code into APEX Scene Animate? Thanks.

In Maya, you can do FK/IK matching with Python by getting the current transformations of the controls and doing some calculations. Is there a way to use Python to manipulate controls in Apex when animating(apex scene animate)? At which step should FK/IK matching be implemented (where should the scripts live and how do the user activate the script)?
